Is there anyway I can send a large file to someone without necessarily e-mailing them?

I recorded a musician's set (so the audio is about an hour and half) and he told me to send him the audio. I don't want to ask him for his e-mail, so is there any way I can upload it somewhere and just send him the link and he can download it from there?

Thank you! (link)
You can put your files on any cloud drive (OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox) and send that person a download link.

However, I found it's much easier and faster to hit Filemail.com - you can use it to upload anything up to 30 GB for free. Then either send a download link to someone’s email, or send the link to your own e-mail and hand it to the other guy via Facebook or Skype (or whatever you used to communicate in the first place :D). The link stays active for a couple of days, and download / upload speeds are very good.

Filemail also looks more professional than other file sending platforms. And if you send often, you might get a business account and have people download files from a page with your own custom branding.

Hope that helps!
